Players I put up for auction and now LOCKED

I cant use my new Worthy or DCR

Shame

the auctions will expire.  it's your fault for listing them 24/12 hours anyway

never list a card for 24/12 hours...8 hours absolute max and 1 hour is ideal bc you can usually sell a little higher bc of filters

Wtf

Is there an issue with the auction house

I work 10 hour days until 7, so I usually put the cards up for 24 hours before I go to bed the night before

.

I guess I didnt plan to the "First Ever" Auction house shutdown....LoLz

If zirksee or swift post a video about a glitch then expect EA to shut down the mode.  People traded cards back and forth for years between accounts....those 2 decide to make a video explaining how to move easter eggs and trade block is locked next day and out of the game.  Zirk made a video yesterday bout how people were getting double coins back on failed bids and he didn't know how it worked but "supposedly" if you timed out of madden after bid it would glitch it.  Queue asshats turning off their routers after every bid and making millions overnight.

Before jumping on me understand that one of those people sadly is a friend of mine

Here's what I don't get as someone who's a developer and own a tech company for 15 years now. How tf do all these glitches get found and exposed in Madden (including the gameplay) by players when they have testers getting paid to do this all day every day before releases of updates or the game itself, it's mind blowing to me how poor the dev has become with Madden. The focus of trying to add more football insight but not pair it with better developers is stupid af. Yea we got a whole team of Ex players helping with ratings and gameplay now, which is even more complex, and that's great but naturally you're going to need even better programmers to develop intricate nuances in football and improve ratings algorithms that these guys are suggesting. It's the only explaination of madden's poor gameplay over the years even though they have a massive budget, they aren't devoting enough of it to good developers.

Not only their QA, but just their entire code in general.  Their code must be a jumbled mess and I'm guessing no one there truly knows what controls what.  Every time they try to update one thing in the kitchen, 5 things break in the bedroom and bathroom that are completely unrelated.

The fault lies totally with EA.  

They offer an AH mode that has worked for years.  Then they make a change in A that should never cause a change in B.

Yet it does, because EA is the king of spaghetti code.  They panic and shut everyone down. 

This has happened so many times that we've come to expect it.

Yeah. At this point I’m pretty sure they’re just going to fix it in the morning

This is exactly what happened.  EA was alerted to the Zirk video and took the AH down because god forbid players were benefitting from a glitch.

Yet if you complete a set by adding the last card, the game freezes and that's been a thing for weeks now.

Wait...people benefit the most from "glitches" the most I've ever seen in any game in this game. Every other game I've ever played when the devs actually make a mistake they take back what was "glitched" and give them a POS make right. This game its like oops silly me well I guess it is what it is. That's why I don't think the glitches are actually glitches and it's a ploy to pump up mid day game play.
